Chapter 254: Using the body as bait

Amid Zhang Fei's laughter, Yelu Qi, the Wusun General, became a member of the Zhenxi Army.

"The sinner will pay homage to the general!" Yelu Qi did not expect that Zhang Fei would really protect him. He was grateful and knelt down at Zhang Fei's feet. The strong people of the grassland nation are respected. Zhang Fei defeated Yelu Qi and Yelu Qi surrendered to Zhang Fei, which is natural.

"Get up!" Zhang Fei helped Yelu Qi up with both hands and laughed.

"Congratulations to the general for taking over a powerful general!" Guo Jia congratulated him without taking the opportunity.

Yelu Qi introduced Gesang to Zhang Fei again. Zhang Fei looked at the young Wusun man, patted his shoulder, and looked at the five thousand Wusun cavalry again. Although these people looked a little embarrassed, they were not without strength. They were much taller than ordinary people in the Central Plains and had sufficient strength. If they were replaced with spears, their combat power would definitely be improved qualitatively.

"This general and the Leopard Cavalry are still missing two thousand people, so let's make up for these five thousand Wusun cavalry. Yelu Qi, you select two thousand elite soldiers and incorporate them into this general and the Leopard Cavalry. The remaining three thousand people will be temporarily used under Huang Xu's tent."

After Zhang Fei made up his mind, he said slowly to Yelu Qi.

"Thank you, General! After hearing this, Yelu Qi was overjoyed. Not only did he save the lives of these five thousand brothers, he also became a member of the Zhenxi Army. He was not afraid of Kucha King Kunmi who was blowing his beard and staring at him.

Everyone returned to Yancheng with their own thoughts, and the siege of Yancheng was officially resolved.

Without further ado, Zhang Fei ordered Yelu Cavalry to select members of the leopard cavalry, and distributed the armor and spears of the leopard cavalry. These armors and spears were kept in Zhang Fei's leopard cavalry after two thousand soldiers of the leopard cavalry were killed, and now they are in use.

On that day, two thousand leopard cavalry were supplemented, and Gesang and three thousand Wusun cavalry also joined Huang Xu's tent.

In the next few days, Zhang Fei buried his head in the training of these newly joined Wusun cavalry and taught them to use spears to fight together. The government and military affairs of Kucha were handed over to Guo Jia and Huang Xu to take care of.

Zhucheng, Chigu City, and Baicheng in the western part of Kucha, which was captured by Yelu Qi, all surrendered to the Zhenxi Army under the order of Yelu Qi, and the five thousand Wusun Army guarding the city were also surrendered.

After the acquisition of 10,000 Wusun troops, the Zhenxi Army increased its power in Kucha. In addition to Zhang Fei's 5,000 Leopard Cavalry, Huang Xu also had a thousand elite guards and eight thousand Wusun troops, totaling nine thousand people. These people firmly controlled the military and political affairs of Kucha.

Kucha King Kunmi only now realized that they had defeated a wolf, but welcomed a tiger. Kucha was no longer his Kucha. In front of this tiger, he did not even have the courage to resist, and could only sigh deeply on an empty night.

Although the war in Kucha ended, Loulan City, thousands of miles away, was in a battle.

As night fell, Loulan City was still brightly lit. On the city wall, soldiers of the Western Army, holding spears and armor, patrolling back and forth. Although they were exhausted and some were even wounded, their scarlet eyes were still staring around, and any movement outside the city could not escape their sight.

In the dim fire, you can clearly see the spots and blood on the top of the city, and occasionally you can see the broken limbs and bodies that have not been cleaned up. The blood in most places has not yet solidified, and when you step on it, it makes a "rattle" sound.

There was a choking smell of blood floating above Loulan City.

During the war in recent days, the city walls built with loess were damaged in many places, and they could trample on the ground at any time. But such a broken Tucheng resisted the ten-day offensive of the Huns.

Under the darkness, the Royal Palace in Loulan City was silent. General Huangfu Jian, the general of the west, Zhang Yan, the commander of the personal guards, Hu Cheer, Wang Meiji of Loulan, Eighteen Dragon Cavalry, Iron Eagle, Shi Lie and others were gathering in the hall.

On the 16th day, it was already the 16th day since Zhenxi Army took over Loulan City.

On the sixth day after Zhenxi Army took over Loulan City, Huangfu Jian sent Shi Lie and a thousand guards who were captives of the Northern Xiongnu, with a batch of food and grass, and equipment to return to Loulan City. That night, the Great Khan of the Northern Xiongnu, Hu Yanzan, personally led an army of 50,000 to surround the small Loulan City.

The 50,000 army can almost surround Loulan City with three layers inside and three layers outside.

In Loulan City, there are 4,000 cavalry of the Zhenxi Army and 2,000 Loulan soldiers. However, with these 6,000 people against the 50,000 Northern Huns, Huangfu Jian had no chance of winning except for escaping.

So Huangfu Jian chose to seize the city and defend it. Although the walls of Loulan City are low and there is no moat protection for the Han people, he thought that this low city wall could also stop the Northern Huns for a while.

But what Huangfu Jian never expected was that he blocked the Northern Huns for ten days. During the ten days, the Northern Huns had to launch a crazy attack every day. The two thousand Loulan soldiers in the city were almost completely killed or injured, and even more than two thousand of Huangfu Jian's four thousand personal guards fell down. The soldiers who could continue to fight in the city were only two thousand.

What's even more serious is that Loulan City was originally just a trading city, and most of the food and food resources in the city were exchanged for transactions. However, now that there are many wars, Loulan City is surrounded like an iron barrel, where can it trade grain from?

There were so many more troops in the city, including war horses, people eating horses, and the food that was not large was consumed, and war materials were even poorer. If Shihun had not brought a lot of arrows from Yumen Pass, the Zhenxi Army would have been useless now.

This is the first time Huangfu Jian has encountered such a dilemma after fighting for so many years.

The unique Loulan Palace has a somewhat depressing atmosphere, and everyone is a little heavy and no one speaks.

"Mei Ji, how much food is left in the city?" Huangfu Jian's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked lightly at King Loulan who was still covered with gauze.

In recent days, Huangfu Jian kissed the city to resist the enemy. There were probably not a thousand or hundreds of Xiongnu who died under his spear. As strong as him, he felt sore all over his body, weak arms, exhausted, and even more sore than Lu Bu.

"There are only a few dozen stones of grain, but I still collected it from the people in the city."

King Loulan looked at the man with beautiful eyes and sighed faintly.

"How many dozens of stones?" Huangfu Jian seemed very serious and asked again. He wanted to figure out how long they could last at most. The soldiers were a little tired and gritted their teeth and could persist, but there was nothing to eat, so the battle would be difficult to fight.

"Thirty stones!" King Loulan also gritted his teeth and said this number, which was the largest amount she could collect.

These days, Loulan Wang Meiji watched the man standing on the top of the city like a demon, killing the enemy exhaustedly. A strange feeling arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to look at him a few more times. He had some resentment towards his capture of the city, but it was eliminated completely, and he was doing his best to help the man win this battle.

This mentality surprised King Loulan himself, but the feeling was so wonderful that she couldn't extricate herself.

Men are the most charming time on the battlefield, not to mention that men like Huangfu Jian who are powerful, powerful, powerful, and handsome, have many women who can withstand his temptation.

"Thirty stones? One saving is only enough for more than two thousand people to eat for a day, one day..."

Huangfu Jian frowned slightly and calculated carefully.

King Loulan also looked helpless. She had done her best, but when she saw Huangfu Jian frowning, she still felt heartbroken.

"Iron Eagle, Ghost Iron Cavalry, Is there any news coming from the Leopard Cavalry?"

Huangfu Jian looked at Tieying, who was responsible for sending and receiving information, and asked lightly.

"I haven't received any news from them today. The ghost Iron Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry should be on the way, so no news has come for the time being." Iron Eagle replied.

"I passed on the orders of the general that the ghost cavalry and the leopard cavalry must arrive at their respective battlefields before sunset tomorrow, and take the sunset as a horn, and attack the Hun camp at the same time." Huangfu Jian changed his expression and ordered in a deep voice.

"No!" Tieying received the order, walked out of the hall quickly, and sent a message.

"Tomorrow is when we fight to the death with the Huns. We have been attacked by the Huns for ten consecutive days. Tomorrow, we will calculate the accounts with them one by one." Huangfu Jian stood up slowly, looked at the distance and said coldly.

"At the same time, tomorrow is also the most critical day. Everyone must take their own responsibility and keep Loulan City firmly to me. Loulan City is a huge bait left by the general for the Huns. I want to use myself and the entire Loulan City to drag all the Huns here and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. But since it is bait, it cannot be swallowed by the opponent. So at the last moment, you must do your best to keep Loulan City for me and achieve our strategic goals!"

"No!" After hearing Huangfu Jian's words, everyone in the hall was very energetic and relieved their uneasy hearts. It turned out that the lord had already made arrangements, and they seemed to be infected by the domineering aura on Huangfu Jian's body and replied loudly.

"King Loulan, you can help repair several damaged city walls overnight." Huangfu Jian looked at King Loulan and said.

"No!" King Loulan had already regarded himself as a member of the Zhenxi Army without realizing it, and also took the order respectfully.

"Tomorrow, Zhang Yan is responsible for defending the East City, Hu Cheer is responsible for defending the South City, Shi Lie is responsible for defending the West City, and I will personally take charge of the North City, which the Huns are attacked by the Huns. Your mission is to drag all the Huns under the city, until sunset, and give the ghost cavalry and the leopard cavalry the opportunity to break through the Huns camp. Do you understand?" Huangfu Jian raised his hand high and ordered in a deep voice.

"I understand!" the three of them shouted in unison.

"Eighteen Dragon Knights, you will be responsible for the defense of the city tonight, be careful to guard against the Huns stealing the city at night!" Huangfu Jian ordered the Eighteen Dragon Knights again.

The Eighteen Dragon Knights have always been following Huangfu Jian, responsible for Huangfu Jian's safety, but now Huangfu Jian has to send them out. He is now completely useless, and they are all exhausted.

"No!" The Eighteen Dragon Cavalry bowed and received the order, stepped out of the hall, disappeared into the darkness, and headed towards the city.

With the Eighteen Dragon Cavalry defending the city, it was impossible for the Huns to steal the city. So Huangfu Jian asked everyone else to go back and rest with confidence, to accumulate strength, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Huangfu Jian returned to the inner courtyard, Jieyou, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning all came up to him and looked at him with concern.

"It's all about Jieyou, which makes the young master suffer!" Jieyou looked at Huangfu Jian's tired face and said with heartache, touching Huangfu Jian's face with a very natural slender hand like jade.

"Where you think of me, I won't give up on the Western Regions. Revenge for you is just a matter of doing it. Incorporating the Western Regions under the rule of Zhenxi Army is the real reason for me to send troops."

Huangfu Jian pinched Jieyou's jade face, which was shattered with a snap of his fingers, smiled slightly, and said softly.

"Okay! The two young masters and grandmas should not be numb. I have prepared some snacks for the general. General, let's fill your stomach first!" Diao Chan smiled a little jealous and joked.

"The little girl dares to make fun of her sister, let's see how I deal with you later." Jieyou's face turned red and he started to laugh and scold.

Under the service of the three girls, Huangfu Jian ate and drank enough, washed up and relieved his worries. Zhang Ning even gave Huangfu Jian a full-body massage. Finally, Huangfu Jian fell asleep in their soft jade hands.

The next day, before dawn, Huangfu Jian came to sleep and found that he was actually sleeping in the mood of understanding.

Huangfu Jian looked at Jieyou who was sleeping sweetly, and couldn't bear to wake her up, so he stood up gently. But just as he moved, Jieyou opened her big, shiny eyes.

"Young Master, you are awake." Jieyou asked sleepyly.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll get up first." Huangfu Jian patted Jieyou's jade back and replied.

"I'm sleeping well, I'll serve the young master." Jieyou said, and then got up.

Huangfu Jian had just finished washing under Jieyou's service, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning walked in together as if they had agreed.

"What are you two coming here so early?" Huangfu Jian looked at Diao Chan, wearing armor, with a sharp sword hanging on his waist, and Zhang Ning and the others asked in surprise.

"We also want to go to the city to kill the enemy with the general!" Diao Chan and Zhang Ning and the other two answered firmly.

"What are you two going to see? You're still staying in the palace and don't go anywhere!" Huangfu Jian frowned and said.

"The general underestimates us too much. The swords in our hands can kill the enemy. Just take us with you! You have sent out the Eighteen Dragon Cavalry. There must be someone around the general!" Diao Chan curled his lips and said in a sweet voice.

Huangfu Jian had no choice but to bring them with him, but seeing that they were wearing armor, they really looked like a hero among girls.

"Du,Du,Du..." Outside Loulan City, the Huns sounded the horn of attack again.

The black Northern Huns came towards Loulan City like a tide. Huangfu Jian was wearing a ferocious Qilin armor and stood majestic on the wall. The God of War Spear had been dismantled into two, the Dragon Prisoner Spear with a 15-foot-long length in the left hand and the Dragon Slashing Spear with a six-foot-long length in the right hand.

Behind Huangfu Jian, the Eighteen Dragon Cavalry stood solemnly, and the narrow sword had been unsheathed. Looking at the Huns under the wall, their killer's heart was slightly moved. Although they didn't sleep all night, the Eighteen Dragon Cavalry refused to rest and must stick behind Huangfu Jian.

Behind the Eighteen Dragons, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning had already drawn out their swords and made contributions to killing the enemy.
